West Virginia is also known as the Mountain State and any discussion of the Appalachians usually includes WV at some point. Music is also an important part of West Virginia's heritage and Appalacian music has its own unique style.

Making the most of the outdoors is also part of what makes WV attractive to visitors and there's an abundance of fishing, river rafting, cycling, hiking & golf. It's also a great state to see the fall colours.
